The angry and scared conservative mind is always on the lookout for a way to let some hatred loose without it looking bad to the people they care about. That plus the persecution complex is a nasty combination. One they have been intentionally conditioned to have.
I remember hearing old racists in the 90s yearn for the day the race war comes. THEN they were gonna do all the violent stuff they’ve been talking about doing to all them dirty insert-exactly-the-word-you-think-they-saids.
It’s the same thing with everything from gun nut home defense fantasies to “just let them say something to me” warriors acting like somebody is going to hold them back.
Not only is it all hollow bluster and superficial iamverybadass image, but they are pretending to be an even more hateful and violent person than they really are, in order to seem cool. They don’t just act like children. They act like the bad kids.
And to be fair, they were probably raised by angry violent conservatives.
There’s a lot of conservatives seemingly gearing up for war saying shit like “The left doesn’t understand what they’ve unleashed.”
Conservatives get to kill who they want and the moment someone kills one of them they want to murder the left.
(At least that’s what the bot-like conservative social media looks like.)
That’s why far-righters can’t be allowed to live

Don’t take to much stock into it. I’m beginning to realize what it is about trump and the people who are seemingly nuts for him.
They are attention seekers.
Plain and simple. They are products of the “look at this small curated snibbit of my life! Isn’t it great! Don’t you wish you were me‽”
And I’m finding out that that is a percentage of my countrymen, I am thoroughly uncomfortable with.
They are children that never mentally progressed passed the “look what I can do!” phase of childhood.
This is all performative for them.
